Juii before this Paper was put to Press we re- . 1 ccived Paris Papers to the gth inst.r--We had ()illy time-to make the following Extracts SENLIN, Dec. lg.—All the Russian troops which ,were in Wallachia, Moldavia, and Bessarabia, have withdrawn, into their winter quarters ; and this rnrivement they tnade as soon as it was known that the Army of the Grand Vizier had evacuated Lower Bessarabia. Some regiments only remain' in, the entrenched camps formed before Giurgewo, Brai ion, and Ismael, where barracks have been con straCted, Other troops have returned to Poland. the greater part of the above troops ore in. oaWort mews in Wallachia. Prince Paosoilowsitt, Com. mander in Chief, has been promoted to the rank o; Field• Marsha). The three free corps 'of Ypsilanti, Milvradorsi, and Nilkitch, which were raised last year, ere to be disbanded. All the troops who composed the Army of the Grand Vizier were dismissed as 80011 as the army had ,reached the environs of Adrianople, pursuant to a Finnan of the Grand Signior.—Ofoniteur of January 8.) ' Field Marshal Prince PRCIBOROWSKI left Bucharest the 2d December, with General 'rzizzaws,v, litotthuttovi, and General APERTIN who .„ eurnmands the new corps which marched from Mo hilard to W#lla.chia. 4,-Dbanador to Russia. 'An article which appeared in the Moniteur is said to have been tho cause, of this clissention. Count MERRVELDT considering the erticleas an insult to his Imperial Master, had ex pressed his indignation in strong terms, and SAVARY having defended it with equal warmth, the differ ence 'proceeded to such violence as could only be terminated by an appeal to arms. The result, it is said,, was fatal to General SAVARY, who was killed on the first tire. We are not much inclined to rely on this story, for, such is the influence of FranCe on all the Continental Governments, whether absolutely under its controul or dreading its power, that it is not likely any article in the lgoniteur, how ever offensive, would be resented i and Copt lylezavet.DT would hardly have been go imprudent as to enter into a dispute of this nature, as he must be aware of the danger in which it might involve the Monarch whom he represented. Yesterday there was a Cabinet Coupcil at the Vo. reign (Ake, at which most of the'Members assisted. The Duke of PoiTLAND was not present. Advices of so late 'a date at the 29th ult. were yes terday received fronfßarceliina. They were brought by Capt. WILLts, cif the American Ship Sally, of New York, arrived at Plythouth from that place.. -- They state, in positive terms, that an army of not less than 140,00 French and Spanish troops, destined to attack Gibraltai, Was then in full march, accom panied by several corps of miners ; and the whole were expeeted to commence their operations against that fortress in the course of a few weeks. We are happy to learn that all our Possessions in India continued in the enjoyment of the most per fe6.t tranquillity ; the rains had been extremely fa vourable, from which great crops were expeEted, and hopes were sanguinely entertained, that the calami ties experienced last season troin the scarcity would 'be alleviated by an abundant harvest. Our letters from Liverpool state, that accounts had reached that pike from Derry, in Ireland, of the arrival there of a Ship from America, niter a very short passage; and that at her departure every thing wore a very warlike appearance. Another Vessel is arrived at Liverpool, which left New-York the t sth ult. The only intelligence she brings is, that at her departure the Non-Importation Ant had been carried into effe6i.. Admiral WILLAUSIEZ met with an Atncricau Brig at sea, and finding on board of her four deserters who had escapedtrom the Valcureuse Frigate, he;not only took them out of her, but wrote a Letter to General TUIUSEAU, the French Minister accredited by the President of the United States, in which, in a most indignant strain, and in the spirit of French domination, he deMands satisfalion from the Ame rican Government, for daring to take men into their service who had been once in the employment of his imperial Majesty. We only extra& that part of the Letter which relates to the question at present under discus sion " I have just apprehended four seamen deserters from the Valeureuse Frigate, which I found on board an American Brig, where they had engaged 'at se venteen dollars per month. Now, Sir, if you can succeed in making the American Government pay down a compensation for thii misconduct in sedu duping thus our seamen,. you will punish it by mak ing it smart in that point in which it feels the most ; viz. its avarice in money, and with so much toe more justice, that these people have for three years past been continually injuring our Marine, by sedu cing our best seamen.—On board the Fuutlroyant. (Signed) " The C. Acl. P. WILLAUNtEZ." " Ravannah, Oa. 25, 1806." Rout Aeons:alt.—The annual dinner in honour. of her MAJEsTv's Birth Day, held by the Members of this Institution, took place yesterday, tic the Crown and Anchor Tavern. Mr. Wssr took the Chair ss President, and many of the Academical. body were present, but several were doubtless pre vented by indisposition from testifying their loyalty on this occasion. The dinner was excellent, and as soon as the cloth was removed the fine old canon, " ../Von UM - Domino," was admirably sung by NZRLD, LUTE, TAYLOR, (of Covent Garden Thea tre) Drawee, and other;. The President then gave T H E Kato," and this toast was received with three times three irt the Most enthusiastic manner. Tun Climm," was received.with.similar warmth. " The Prince of Wm:Es, and the rest of the Royal.. Family;" " the Duke of Youx and the Army ;" with many other loyal' and constitutional toasts, followed in due succession, and were received with great applause, The President having paid a liand.k some compliment to the professional chat ader of Sir JOSHUA llicitioLus, with impressive solemnity pro- Rposed as a toast " The Memory of Sir Josnvs. ivNotas," which was received with suitable feel. logs by the company, Mr. Wes? having properly observed that such a Toast should not be marked by the tone of rejoicing which accompanied the others. " THE BRITISH. INSTITUTION," which is so honour able to the Noble Patrons, and promises great ad vantage to the Arts of this Country, was given, and warmly applauded. " The Marquis of STAFFORD," and other l►beral Patrons of the Arts were also given by the Chair, and received with respea by the company.-- - Mr. CALEB WIIITIWOORD then proposed the health of " THE PRESIDENT," and it expe rienced the most flattering reception. This general ti,'stitriony of respect induced Mr. WEST to make a brief address to the company, in which lie testified his gratitude tbr the compliment that had been paid to him, modestly expressed his hopes that his efforts had Wen serviceable to the Arts; which he should alvi;ays 'Zealously eryleavour to pr route, and ter vently declaring, that though he h4d the honour to belong to most of the distinguished institutions of the same bind' in the civilized world, 'he' was- most &lid of _being President of the Royal Academy.-- rhis 'Add'iess, which' was neatly expressed,'' and de livered with cr4-,tt feeling, was of course t*ceivtd with gi•Olit The 'by was enlivetied by some excellent songs; and' so Much good - humour prevailed that the company 'did not dispers till a much I We hunt. ..• , EXTRACT FROM THE OF ;AN. 7. " AmsersanAM, DEC. 28,..--gxtraas are citeulated hero of the 'Otte:al Not by which England has 4,t,iven an answer to the offer of Mediation of the Emperor of Russia. That Note, signed CANNPIG, zontains in substance, that his Britannic Majesty would have accepted, with pleasure, the Mediation ,of lussia, it be had received information respeet ing' ilie basis upon which the Mediator hoped to re-establish the General Peace. But his Majesty ,the Emperor of. Russia, after having repeatedly j)rorrilf;ed to his Britannic Majesty not to conclude any Peace with France without having assured the indpendence of the German Princes, had, notwith. standing, sighed the Treaty of Tilsit, which far from :Fontainitig any stipulation .on that head, seemed to submit the v?hote of Gertpany to the wishes of France. Now his Britannic' Majesty cannot enter into any Negociation with France, unless the com. plefe restitution of the Ele6lorate of Hanover be admitted, as a preliminary basis. By an uncon tlitional acceptanee of the Russian mediation, his iiritannic Majesty would have reason to fear lest his Gorman States should become 4 French Province; therefore his 4ritannic Majesty places his confidence in the efforts of his People, in order to force his implacable Enemy into more conciliatory mea. suros, Eke." We understand that Government mean to afford every facility to such of the inhabitants of Portugal :as are disposed to follow their Sovereign to the Bra zils. Vessels have been ordered for that purpose, and we have no doubt. that great numbers of the Nrtoiflese will eagerly avail themselves of an op prti.,l.ity to escape from the oppression . and tyrapny under which they now: labour.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, In your Paper of the 12th instant,' youlaveglven place to a Letter from Lieutenant Gua,, late.of the Anson Frigate, in which my charaaer, and that of the Royal Cornwall Qnzette, are most violently at tacked, I have too high opinion of your sense of justice, to suppose you will lia,itate a moment to give equal publicity to the few observations which I deem necessary to my defence. Had Lieutenant GILL seen my Paper of the gth instant, a copy of which was sent to the address he left with rue (at CALM'S Hotel, Fore-street, Dock), it 'were IMPOSSIBLE that he could have penned the Letter you have published, You, Sir, and TUB Pbatac, have seen that Paper; and to you and the Public I appeal, whether, in the corrected statement I have there given of the shipwreck of the dnson, I have not done all that a LOVE OF TRUTH and a SENSE or DUTY could hove diaated to you or any other Journalist under similar circumstances. I forbear to say more at pre sent . Lieutenant 1 , GILL appears to be a reader of your Paper. When he sees this Letter, perhaps he will recolle& the promise I made him when he left me his address, that I would write hire at Dock. Accordingly, a Letter from me accompanied the Paper I sent him. When he has peznsed these, he will no doubt write to you or me : and in the mean time, I most un- , afre6tedly assure him, that I am not so ignorant of the virtues or the fObles of a thorough-bred sea_ man, as to quarrel with him about a few uncounly Phrasest I am, Sir, your filitliful hurrNe Servant, FLINDET4 Rural Cornwall Gazette o,lfice, Truro, • .• itith January, 180 s.
